CBM = Length × Width × Height (in meters)
Vol. wt (kg) = (L×W×H in cm) / 5000
Chargeable = max(actual weight, volumetric weight)
Cost = Chargeable weight × rate + surcharges
Our logistics calculators cover a wide range of use cases.
Dimensional planning for cartons, pallets, and containers.
Air-freight billing checks using volumetric standards.

✓ IATA & FIATA Standard Methods
Parcel: 60×40×35 cm, actual 12 kg. Volumetric = 84,000/5000 = 16.8 kg. Chargeable weight = 16.8 kg.
Crate: 1.2m × 0.8m × 0.9m → CBM = 0.864 m³ per crate.
Chargeable 16.8 kg, base rate $4/kg, fuel surcharge $6 → cost = 16.8×4 + 6 = $73.2
| Factor | Air | Sea |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Fastest | Slow, schedule-dependent |
| Cost efficiency | Better for urgent/high-value cargo | Better for high volume/non-urgent cargo |
| Pricing basis | Chargeable weight | CBM/container usage |
| Best use | Time-critical shipments | Bulk movement |
Myth: Actual weight alone determines air freight cost.
Fact: Chargeable weight uses the higher of actual and volumetric weight.
Myth: Cheapest route is always best.
Fact: Delay risk, SLA penalties, and inventory impact can outweigh rate savings.
Myth: CBM errors are small and harmless.
Fact: Small dimensional errors multiply across pallets and containers.

Air vs sea decisions based on speed, cost, and risk.
As accurate as possible after final packing. Even small dimension errors can increase volumetric weight and total shipping cost.
Sea freight is usually better for non-urgent, high-volume shipments. Air freight is preferred for urgent or high-value items requiring faster delivery.
They provide estimation support. Final carrier quotes may include fuel, security, remote-area, handling, and seasonal surcharges.
